Re: Lyra/Ash
Lyra watched Ash for a moment, studying him as he looked away from her. What had she expected? A couple of kisses and some talking in what ifs didn't change a person. Ash would always be Ash and no matter how much she liked him, or how much she wanted his lips on her's again in that gentle meeting, he would have his fun where he willed it, and her heart would not take that.
"Perhaps I should leave you to your thoughts as well." She said finally, feeling awkward as she moved to stand, trying to mask the slight sadness on her face. Tomorrow she could return to playful chatting and flirting and let it stay there where it belonged.
